Conduction‐ and valence‐band offsets in GaAs/Ga0.51In0.49P single quantum wells grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

TLDR
In this article, the conduction and valence-band offsets for GaAs/Ga0.51In0.49P quantum wells were independently estimated by measuring the capacitance transient resulting from thermal emission of carriers from the respective wells.
Abstract
We have independently estimated the conduction‐ and valence‐band offsets ΔEc and ΔEv in GaAs/Ga0.51In0.49P quantum wells by measuring the capacitance transient resulting from thermal emission of carriers from the respective wells. The heterostructure samples were grown by low‐pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The band offsets are extrapolated from the emission activation energies with appropriate corrections. The estimated values of ΔEc and ΔEv are 0.198 and 0.285 eV, respectively.

Tunneling injection lasers: a new class of lasers with reduced hot carrier effects

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated quantum-well lasers in which electrons are injected into the quantum well ground state through tunneling, and they showed that the tunneling injection lasers are shown to have negligible gain compression, superior high-temperature performance, lower Auger recombination and wavelength chirp, and better modulation characteristics when compared to conventional lasers.
